1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, April 2, 2003

By	Ellen (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Connie Francis - Where the Boys Are: 24 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

If you are looking for a compilation of her original hits, this is not the one for you. These are not the originals; they were recorded in 1989. She didn't change things much and her voice is still strong, but her whining has become more pronounced. I was hoping to hear the songs as they were originally recorded, but was greatly disappointed.

This review is from: Connie Francis - Where the Boys Are: 24 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I wish I had read the reviews on this CD before I purchased it. I, too, was very disappointed because I wanted original recordings. On most of the songs, it's apparent they tried to re-create the song like the original, but some of my favorites were quite far from the original.

1.0 out of 5 stars WAKE UP AMERICA, May 21, 2006

By	Terry D. Robertson "Terry D. Robertson" (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Connie Francis - Where the Boys Are: 24 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Reissues of Connie Francis hits are becoming a way of life but please, this is not a reissue of her original hits--it is her Malaco recordings from 1989 of WHERE THE HITS ARE. This too has been reissued to death. There is no end of great Connie Francis material to be released. Amercia look at Japan and South Africa for example. This is as bad as Bush trying to cover up phone tapping. But as I have said before, any Connie Francis product is better than none. How about being a little more original in the future. Take a chance! Her "Souvenirs" and "Italian Collections" were a bold step for this country and the results were fantastic. They're still in print. So Polydor/Universal get your feet wet, the water isn't that cold. You might be very surprised. We're waiting.
